iCloud

If you have automatic iCloud backups set up, then you can connect it to a power source, and if the device can connect to Wifi, it will do a backup to iCloud which will include your Camera Roll Photos and Videos.

Best of luck,

Sadly, you will not. For future reference, you should import your photos regularly to either iPhoto or the Photos app or to a cloud service like iCloud Photo Library, Dropbox, or SugarSync:

Have you considered getting the screen replaced so you can enter the Passcode?

i already spent money on buying a new phone but I am considering it anyways, I was just hoping not to spend more money. and I don't want to pay to get the screen fixed and find out there is more damage than just the screen and still won't be able to get my photos.
